Created attachment 415994 [details] latest btrbk ebuild Hi! As the popularity of btrbk grows, it would be useful to have this package included in gentoo. btrbk is a backup tool for btrfs subvolumes, taking advantage of btrfs specific capabilities to create atomic snapshots and transfer them incrementally to backup locations via ssh. btrbk comes as a single executable perl script. It needs to be run as root, as it calls `btrfs` from sys-fs/btrfs-progs, which again needs root privileges to operate on btrfs subvolumes. btrbk is architecture-independent, and should work on all systems having btrfs support. The project page is here: https://www.digint.ch/btrbk/ Development page at GitHub: https://github.com/digint/btrbk Currently, the ebuilds are provided by the "digint overlay": git://dev.tty0.ch/portage/digint-overlay.git I attached the current ebuild, which is already tested (by me and confirmed by other users on GitHub). - Axel
